Mambo in Chinatown: A Novel | 
pickCharlie works as a dishwasher in the noodle restaurant where her dad works but wants more, so she applies for a receptionist job at a dance studio. She never expects where this will end up taking her. This novel has obvious plot points and was too romance focused for my personal taste, but I enjoyed it. It shows the pull between current and traditional expectations well.
pickOne will not be able to stop reading this. Take my word for it.
July 7, 2020 Mambo in Chinatown. I started reading this book last Friday and I am already halfway through it. This is one of my first books that I have read by Jean Kwok and I love it! I think it is filled with real life situations and humor. Without finishing it, i can tell it is a WINNER 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI loved it! Such a perfect mix of family, friendship, romance, and personal growth. It takes a lot for a non-thriller to be a "page turner" for me, but "Mambo in Chinatown" was just that. I loved the story and was fully enveloped in Charlie's world, and was so sad when I had to leave.

I read this one a few years ago and I remember really liking it despite all the ballroom dancing.
Read girl in translation and loved it. Saw this today in the dollar tree and remembered it was on my GR tbr I have been reading a lot of mystery/thriller/suspense ( my must fave genres to read) thus one will be a nice change
so-soThis book was my day trip airplane book today. It was... it was OK. Character development wasn't all there. An almost eyeball-rolling, anticipated story. A small, sad surprise that didn't really seem to fit in. It wasn't bad enough to dump but I wouldn't read it again.
